Inform people what measures are needed to protect a livable climate:

Peak carbon emissions now. Reductions must begin now in industrialized nations, and within a few years in developing nations.

Reduce emissions several percent per year and quickly transition from fossil fuels to low carbon energy.

The US must lead. The US must embrace the 2°C limit, and lead the global low carbon mobiliza­tion corresponding to a reasonable and realistic stabilization pathway.

Citizens must understand that:

We must quickly create a “new operating system” based on renewable energy, not fossil fuels.

Most of the technology already exists and we have considerable results to draw upon.

We can do this—it is just a question of will.

The cost of inaction far outweighs the cost of action by orders of magnitude.

Humanity’s very survival is at stake.

Call for real Climate Breakthrough policies:

Price greenhouse gas pollution. This is the single most powerful mechanism we have to drive broad-based emissions reductions to confront the threat of global warming.

Remove fossil fuel subsidies. These policies are driving the world toward dangerous climate change, distorting the market, and impeding the shift towards clean and efficient energy.

Create strong incentives for renewables.

Invest in the conversion to a clean, efficient, resilient infrastructure. We must immediately fund the modernization of our infrastructure, transitioning away from our old, inefficient, and carbon-intensive system.

Use these talking points to write letters to the editor, write op-eds, tweet, and post on Facebook. Discuss these issues with friends, family, teachers, students, colleagues, and through your networks.

Call for, organize, and lead teach-ins:

Call on your local university or college to host climate teach-ins.

Ask local climate scientists and climate leaders to lead teach-in sessions.
